Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of disconnecting switch technology, and more specifically, it relates to a manual / automatic switching device for the electric operating mechanism of a disconnecting switch. Background Technology

[0002] A disconnecting switch is a high-voltage electrical device in a power system used to isolate power sources and create a visible disconnection point. Its structure mainly consists of conductive parts (stationary contact, moving contact, conductive arm), insulating parts (post insulators, bushing insulators), and an operating mechanism (manual or electric drive). The conductive parts are supported on a base by insulators, and the moving contact is connected to the operating mechanism to achieve opening and closing actions. Its core function is to reliably isolate electrical equipment from the energized power grid during power outages and maintenance, creating a visible disconnection gap to ensure maintenance safety. It can also work with circuit breakers to perform switching operations and change the system's operating mode. However, because it lacks arc-extinguishing capability, operation under load is strictly prohibited. Disconnecting switches can be operated manually or electrically: manual operation uses a crank or lever to directly drive the transmission mechanism, suitable for small-capacity applications or those without electric drive systems; electric operation is driven by a motor and a reduction gearbox, and can be remotely controlled.

[0003] The existing application number is CN202022597291.0. This utility model discloses a high-voltage disconnecting switch, comprising: a base, a first insulator, a second insulator, an incoming contact, an outgoing contact, a knife switch, a self-locking hook, and a locking plate. One end of the knife switch is rotatably connected to a support. The self-locking hook is located at the free end of the knife switch. The self-locking hook has a hook body and an arc-shaped through groove. The two blades are connected in the middle by a first rotating shaft passing through the arc-shaped through groove. A first separating sleeve is provided on one side of the self-locking hook, and a second separating sleeve is provided on the blade. The first and second separating sleeves are located on a second rotating shaft connecting the two blades. The first rotating shaft is connected to the second rotating shaft by a torsion spring. The end faces of the first and second separating sleeves are provided with matching spiral grooves. When the two ends of the knife switch clamp the incoming and outgoing contacts, the hook body hooks onto the end of the locking plate. When the self-locking hook is rotated, the first and second separating sleeves squeeze each other, causing the knife switch to separate from the incoming and outgoing contacts, and the hook body to separate from the locking plate.

[0004] Based on the above, the knife switch of the existing disconnecting switch is generally hinged to the insulator post. However, since the knife switch is generally directly exposed to the outside world, dust, rain and other external factors will cause certain corrosion to the hinge point of the knife switch over a long period of time, resulting in the knife switch not rotating smoothly when opening and closing, which affects the performance of the disconnecting switch. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a manual / automatic switching device for the electric operating mechanism of a disconnecting switch. This addresses the issue that in existing disconnecting switches, the knife switch is generally hinged to the insulator support. However, since the knife switch is usually directly exposed to the outside environment, long-term exposure to dust, rain, and other external factors can cause corrosion to the hinge point of the knife switch, resulting in insufficient smooth rotation of the knife switch during opening and closing, thus affecting the performance of the disconnecting switch.

[0006] The purpose and effectiveness of this utility model's manual / automatic switching device for the electric operating mechanism of the disconnector switch are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0009] Furthermore, the switching drive mechanism also includes: an opening and closing drive gear and a switching drive screw; the opening and closing drive gear is coaxially and fixedly connected to the left end of the isolation drive shaft; the switching drive screw is rotatably connected to the left side of the isolation base, and the switching drive screw is threadedly connected to the switching drive box.

[0010] Furthermore, the switching drive mechanism also includes a manual operating handle and an electric operating component; the manual operating handle is rotatably connected to the left rear end of the switching drive box, and a gear structure is coaxially fixedly connected to the right end of the manual operating handle; the electric operating component is a worm gear motor structure, and the electric operating component is fixedly connected to the left front end of the switching drive box, and a gear structure is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft of the electric operating component.

[0011] Furthermore, the automatic lubrication mechanism includes: a lubrication drive cam, a lubrication pressure cylinder, and a lubrication compression piston; two sets of lubrication drive cams are provided, and the two sets of lubrication drive cams are coaxially fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the isolation gate; two sets of lubrication pressure cylinders are provided, and the two sets of lubrication pressure cylinders are fixedly connected to the front end of the lubrication storage tank. Both sets of lubrication pressure cylinders are connected to the inside of the lubrication storage tank. A one-way valve structure is provided at the connection between the two sets of lubrication pressure cylinders and the lubrication storage tank. An air inlet structure is provided at the upper end of both sets of lubrication pressure cylinders, and a one-way valve structure is provided at the air inlet of both sets of lubrication pressure cylinders; two sets of lubrication compression pistons are provided, and the two sets of lubrication compression pistons are slidably connected to the front end of the inside of the lubrication pressure cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the automatic lubrication mechanism also includes: a lubrication return spring and a lubrication connecting pipe; two sets of lubrication return springs are provided, and the two sets of lubrication return springs are respectively fixedly connected to the rear end of the lubrication extrusion piston, and the rear end of the two sets of lubrication return springs are respectively fixedly connected to the lubrication pressure cylinder; the rear end of the lubrication connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the inside of the lubrication storage tank, and the front end of the lubrication connecting pipe is set at the hinge point of the isolation gate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention utilizes a switching drive mechanism. Rotating the switching drive screw causes the switching drive box to move forward and backward. The forward movement of the switching drive box engages the gear structure of the manual operating handle with the opening / closing drive gear. Conversely, the backward movement of the switching drive box engages the gear structure of the electric operating component with the opening / closing drive gear. During opening and closing, the opening / closing drive gear rotates, which in turn rotates the isolating drive shaft. This rotation, in turn, rotates the opening / closing drive rod, causing the opening / closing insulator to move up and down. This movement pushes or pulls the isolating switch up or down, thus enabling precise switching between manual and electric operation modes. The orderly linkage of the two operating modes through the mechanical structure ensures a stable switching process, and after switching, it effectively drives the isolating switch to complete the opening and closing action, improving operational flexibility and applicability to meet the operational needs of different scenarios.

[0015] This invention utilizes an automatic lubrication mechanism. The rotation of the isolating switch drives the lubrication drive cam to rotate, which in turn presses backward against the lubrication compression piston. This piston then compresses air from the lubrication pressurizing cylinder into the lubrication storage tank. At this point, the one-way valve at the connection between the lubrication pressurizing cylinder and the lubrication storage tank opens, while the one-way valve at the air inlet of the lubrication pressurizing cylinder closes. Lubricating oil from the storage tank is then injected into the hinge point of the isolating switch through a lubrication connection pipe. Periodic lubrication is achieved through the switch's own movement, continuously reducing friction and wear at the hinge point, lowering the frequency of manual maintenance, improving the operational reliability and service life of the isolating switch, and enhancing its overall performance.

[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: When it is necessary to switch the opening and closing mode, rotate the switching drive screw 104.

The forward movement of the switching drive box 2 drives the gear structure of the manual operation handle 105 to mesh with the opening and closing drive gear 103.

The lubrication compression piston 503 moves backward and squeezes the air inside the lubrication pressurizing cylinder 502 into the lubrication storage tank 6. At this time, the one-way valve at the connection between the lubrication pressurizing cylinder 502 and the lubrication storage tank 6 opens, and the one-way valve at the air inlet of the lubrication pressurizing cylinder 502 closes. The lubricating oil inside the lubrication storage tank 6 is injected into the hinge point of the isolating switch 5 through the lubrication connecting pipe 505.
